IN THE MATTER OF NTT GLOBAL DATA CENTERS AMERICAS, INC.

Docket No. 9386. Order, April 13, 2020 Order lifting the stay to amend the Complaint to accommodate a name change and successor in interest. SECOND ORDER REGARDING SCHEDULING IN LIGHT OF PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY By order dated March 19, 2020, the Commission has already stayed this proceeding and deferred the commencement of the evidentiary hearing by 30 days. Because of the declared public health emergency1 associated with the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), also known as SARS-Cov-2; and because it has been advised that gatherings of ten or more persons may facilitate the spread of the disease, the Commission has determined that it is in the public interest to mitigate the transmission and impact of COVID-19, and that good cause exists to stay this proceeding for an additional 45 days and to again reschedule the evidentiary hearing. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this proceeding be fully stayed, except for matters of settlement, for an additional 45 calendar days; and IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the evidentiary hearing date and all pre-hearing deadlines in this proceeding be further extended by the number of calendar days of this additional stay. The Administrative Law Judge retains discretion to adjust any such pre-hearing deadlines to the extent compatible with the hearing date as extended by this Order or to make a recommendation to the Commission regarding an alternative hearing date.

By the Commission.
